When the transfer of power in Washington is being presented, the British historian narrates: "Dixie, a former musical show tune ironically penned by a northerner, replaces the national anthem." During the Civil War, the USA had no national anthem to "replace." Although "The Star-Spangled Banner" was popular, it was never officially recognized as the national anthem during the 19th century. The Navy adopted it as their song in 1889 and President Woodrow Wilson proposed it as a national anthem in 1916, but it was not given formal status until 1931. In the 1800s, the "Banner" was one of various songs that served as unofficial anthems, including "Hail Columbia" and "My Country, 'Tis of Thee". It would have been more appropriate to have the man in the film say "Dixie, a former musical show tune ironically penned by a northerner, is adopted as the national anthem."
